Mogambo (1953): John Ford Updates Red Dust
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Aug 16, 2021
Whether it’s apocryphal or not the term “Mogambo” is purported to be the Swahili word for “passion,” although it’s difficult to know if this was only hearsay propagated by westerners (now including myself). Regardless, it boasts an intriguing if altogether curiou read more
Red Dust (1932, Victor Fleming)
The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Mar 1, 2019
I’m not sure how much would be different about Red Dust if the film weren’t so hideously racist, particularly when it comes to poor Willie Fung (as the houseboy), but at least it wouldn’t go out on such a nasty note. Especially since the finale, despite being contrived, at least plays to the film’s read more

Red Dust (1932)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 23, 2018
My earliest recollection of knowing anything about Red Dust comes from the novel A Confederacy of Dunces where it’s recounted how the feckless oaf of a main character was born soon after his parents saw the picture being so caught up in the throes of Gable and Harlow’s cinematic passion read more

TCM PRE-CODE FRIDAYS: The Women of RED DUST (1932)
Backlots Posted by Lara on Sep 12, 2014
All September long, TCM is shining the spotlight on those films made during the illustrious years of 1929-1934, the saucy and seductive era we call “pre-Code.” In the days prior to codified morality on film, writers and filmmakers were free to tell the stories they thought their audien read more
90 Years of MGM- 1932’s Red Dust and 1953’s Mogambo
Classic Film Freak Posted by Orson De Welles on Jun 26, 2014
Share This!The battle of the sexes! The battle of the gorillas!
These two films basically follow the same general plot but as pieces of entertainment are as different as a hurricane and a drought.
And, although this is a reposting of an old post from a few years ago, we have one important change to read more
Classic Films in Focus: RED DUST (1932)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jun 24, 2014
Steamy Pre-Code sensuality drives the plot of Victor Fleming’s Red Dust (1932), in which Clark Gable and Jean Harlow prove the powder keg appeal of their onscreen chemistry. The story unfolds against the equally heated backdrop of an exotic tropical location, where tigers and torrential rains read more

Pre-code Perversion: Red Dust* (1932)
I've never hated Mary Astor more than I did whilst watching Red Dust (1932). But more on that later.
Can you believe I hadn't seen this film in its entirety since now? Yes, I've seen bits and pieces of it when I was lucky enough to catch it on TCM, but read more
The CMBA Film Passion 101 Blogathon: Jean Harlow in Red Dust (1932)
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Dec 3, 2013
The first movie where I saw Jean Harlow was Red Dust (1932). I’d heard of Harlow, certainly, and knew of her reputation as a platinum blonde, but I’d never seen a single performance. And what an introduction this was. For the first five minutes of the movie, it’s all rugged male and jungle, complete read more
"Red Dust," or Sweat Surrender
The Man on the Flying Trapeze Posted by David on Jan 28, 2013
The 1932 film "Red Dust" is ironically titled -- dust has very little to do with what happens in the movie. Moisture, however, plays a starring role -- moisture in the form of sweat, rain, steam and humidity, with a very special appearance by Jean Harlow's bathwater.

The Films of Jean Harlow: Red Dust (1932)
Journeys in Classic Film Posted by Kristen on Mar 4, 2012
We return back to the films of Jean Harlow! I was originally planning on doing Red-Headed Woman today but that doesn’t look to be easy to get at the moment so I’ll come back to that when I get it (so much for going in chronological order). On that note, Netflix is NOT the place to find read more

Hollywood Revue Posted by Angela on Nov 12, 2010
Dennis Carson (Clark Gable) is a rubber plantation owner in Indochina and quite content with his life the way it is. He’s not too thrilled when he comes home one night to find Vantine (Jean Harl0w), a wise-cracking prostitute on the lam from Saigon, staying at his plantation house. Dennis i read more
